With one of the cast confirmed for the upcoming 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Fouze, a rumors have surfaced on message boards. This revolves around his debut in Kamen Rider OOO summer movie.

Take rumors with a grain of salt!

* Kamen Rider Fouze is in OOO's summer movie: WONDERFUL Shogun & 21 Core Medals, similar to OOO's cameo in W FOREVER. * Kamen Rider Fouze is called Kakeru, when sees OOO he goes "Holy sh*t! It's the real Kamen Rider OOO!". His sister suddenly calls him and tells him to go home. * Kakeru has some sort of smartphone which has data on past Riders, kinda like Pokemon's PokeDex.

Previously, we got some interesting rumors about the 13th Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Fouze, which says that he will show up in this year's summer movie. And recently, a much more interesting rumors showed up making Fouze, a high school student!

Please take rumors with a grain of salt!

Kamen Rider Fouze uses items called "Rider Switch" and has five basic forms. The setting is in a high school and revolves around the school's Occult Club which consists of three members and their club adviser.

The story is about the Occult Club investigating the urban legend about something called "Kamen Rider", and collecting past Rider Switches. In the start, Fouze already has his five Fouze Switches and four OOO Switches. When he has 5 Rider Switches, he can metamorphose into that Rider's Mode. He can access past Rider's Modes.

There are 3 different type of Switches. First one is Rider Switch, which changes the body of Fouze. The second one is "Arms Switch", this one is for various weapons and such. The last one is "Vehicle Switch", it's used for the bike and other support mechs. The enemy organization is aiming after the Switches too.

Note: the poster was using the word metamorphose. If this is true, Fouze is probably romanized as Phose. He doesn't exactly become the Rider like Decade. Easiest way to describe this is Kamen Rider Den-O Plat Form being equipped with different parts. Basically Fouze has a base form and he's equipped with the past Riders armors.

A guy at Twitter claims that he have seen a Kamen Rider show being filmed. And it seems to be a little obvious that it's Kamen Rider Fouze that will air this September. He claims that he saw Kamen Rider Ichigo and Nigo in the scene.

He said that Kamen Rider #1 and #2 are fighting a kaijin or monster "similar to Momotaros but with a different color." As a proof, and unfortunately, he only took a photo of Ichigo's motorcycle, the Cyclone. No other pictures were taken.

If this one is indeed a Kamen Rider Fouze filming, the previous rumor about Fouze being a member of an occult club in high school who is investigating the urban legend called "kamen rider" could be true. As usual, take these rumors with a grain of salt.

If we based on the times when Kamen Rider OOO's suit is confirmed, we are only a week away for Kamen Rider Fouze's suit to leak the interwebs. And as we prepare for the new story of the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider, here's a rumor round-up.

These Kamen Rider Fouze rumors round-up are rumors that hasn't been confirmed as false and is compiled by DecaEnd of HJU. Please take rumors with a grain of salt!

Kamen Rider Fouze is a High school student in a occult club. They are collecting Rider Switches and looking for the urban legend about Kamen Riders. Already has some Fouze and OOO Switches right off the bat. He needs 5 Switches are needed to access a Rider Mode and 3 types of Switches. Producer is Tsukada.

Kamen Rider Fouze is a High school student that's not in a occult club. Main characters are Fouze, Fouze's friend who used to be a Rider and Fouze's friend's sister, who's played by some Idol chick. Fouze's user is called Yuuki Oshida. Fouze related episodes are written by Yonemura. Past Rider related episodes are done by their respective main writers.

Kamen Rider Fouze has a Space/Astronaut motif. There's a switch on his belt. This switch can change his arm and weapons. It can give him rockets, or even turn is arm into a manipulator. Protagonist received the belt from a teacher.

Kamen Rider Fouze is a high school student who suffers from memory loss. He inherited the Rider System from his father and he fights "Noa." Noa seems to be the name of next year's monsters. He can't use the full power of Fouze, only uses a small portion of it and has four forms. The series' scriptwriter has never worked with any Kamen Rider series before.

Kamen Rider Fouze is actually Rider 0 and is incomplete. Metamoru is another Rider, which was based off of Fouze. Metamoru can change its whole body. Fouze is incomplete, so it can only change arms and legs. (Note, this Metamoru is not the Metamoru that was mentioned recently. This rumor is older that than the recent one).

Kamen Rider Fouze is said to show up in Kamen Rider OOO's Summer Movie and will soon have a collaboration, movie or episode, with Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

The full suit for the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Fourze is finally revealed! This very much confirms that the leaked fan art a few days ago is true.

In addition, here's another scan of Kamen Rider Fourze featuring the use of “Arms Switch” with gave him the ability of changing his arm attachments. The scan also confirms that Fourze can travel and fights in space, hence the "astronaut/space" theme and his appearance in Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL movie.

Update: On the right is the third part of the Kamen Rider Fourze scans. It show's Fourze fighting the the ancient alchemist Gara with Kamen Rider OOO.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed through the texts in the magazine scans that Kamen Rider Fourze is only in the second year of high school and he gets to travel out to space and fight monsters. He only needs 4 switches, so that confirms Rider Switches as fake.

After the suit confirmation yesterday, additional Kamen Rider Fourze scans showed up featuring his user Gentarou Kisaragi (played by Sota Fukushi 福士蒼汰), a high school student who uses the Fourze Driver in fighting monsters.

Gentaro Kisaragi is an Amanokawa Academy second year, section B high school student and basing it on his hairdo, he is a delinquent or better known in Japan as a Yankee. He will fight monsters who were created by a mysterious space energy, thus there are instances that he will fight them in space.[imghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iWhjjixC9gE/TgL7E0pveVI/AAAAAAAAGDw/tRDKdmhDYx4/s1600/Fukushi_Sota.jpg[/img]

Kamen Rider Fourze, uses “Switches” to gain additional weapons. So far the known weapon is the Rocket, which uses the “Rocket Switch” (the first one from the left). Fourze has a total of 4 weapon slots, which basically are the buttons similar to a PlayStation console, namely: Circle, Square, Cross, and Triangle. Rocket unit uses the Circle slot.

Kamen Rider Fourze also have a bike called "Machine Masshigura" and it can travel to space. Masshigura means at full speed.

As usual, the belt is called the Fourze Driver. The third switch from the left should be the main “Henshin Switch”, it is originally black, but the Fourze suit appears on it after transformation. We assumes that the “Switch On, 3, 2, 1, Henshin” text on the scans will be the transformation sound.

With Sota Fukushi entering the scene, could it meant that Taito Hashimoto aka Kazari trolled us by saying that Ryuki Takahashi is Kamen Rider Fourze? More information will definitely show up before the series starts airing on September 4th, a week after Kamen Rider OOO's 48th episode.

The hype for Kamen Rider Fourze haven't stopped. Just recently, new rumors regarding the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider Series' first episode and cast have been posted at NetaRider. As always please take rumors with a grain of salt!

As posted a few hours ago, Gentarou Kisaragi, the user of the Fourze System, will be played by Sota Fukushi. Additional Kamen Rider Fourze cast rumors are as follows: Kengo Kasei played by Ryuki Takahashi; Yuuki Joujima/Joushima played by Fumika Shimizu; Miwa played by Rikako Sakata; and, JK (Jake) and Tomoko Yazawa played by unconfirmed actors.

In addition, here's the rumored first episode summary:

Episode 1: “Him→Me→Switch→Transform”Gentaro Kisaragi, a student in Amanogawa Academy High School's 2B, is suddenly attacked by his teacher who was covered in mysterious space energy. He seems to be in an absolute pinch. But out of nowhere, the transfer student Kengo Kasei hands him some switches and a mysterious belt.

As Kamen Rider OOO comes to an end in the next nine episodes, rumors never stop to spread in various forums and image boards. This set of rumors features possible spoilers for the next few episodes and the debut of Kamen Rider Fourze!

* Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL is AU or alternate universe. BuraKaWani shows up halfway. And, by the powers of the medals, all the combos appear to fight Gara, while the mystery of the TaToBa Combo is revealed. * By the end of the summer movie, Kamen Rider OOO is fighting Gara's monster form. OOO is having trouble, a guy in a school uniform shows up and transforms. He is Kamen Rider Fourze. * Kamen Rider OOO and Fourze manages to corner Gara, but she transforms into her complete form. Creates a space Yummy, Fouze and the Yummy goes out to space.

In addition, here's some rumors on Kamen Rider Fourze:

* The story starts with an accident at Gentaro Kisaragi's school, Amanogawa (Milky Way) Academy. Gentaro is somewhat of an delinquent, thus the other classmates tends to not socialize with him. One day, a mysterious life form is born and causes monsters to be created from a space energy. * A classmate's dying father created the belt. * The producer is Hideaki Tsukada (Gekiranger, Dekaranger). The writers are Riku Sanjo (Kamen Rider W, Digimon Xros Wars) and someone experienced with Super Sentai but have never written for Kamen Rider.

After getting a few rumors in the past few days, we finally got the official list of staff and cast for the upcoming 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Fourze. They were revealed in the latest issue of Uchuusen Magazine.

Since we got a confirmation of the staff and cast for the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Fouze, latest translations from Uchuusen magazine revealed the story and plot revolving on Kamen Rider Fouze!

“The High School Rider who is challenging the Universe is born!!”

Kamen Rider Fourze is actually an experiment trying out two thing, outer space and school drama. Gentaro Kisaragi, a new transfer student at Amanogawa Academy says "I will become friends with everyone" on his first day and creates the "Kamen Rider" club. That's how he came to know Kengo Kasei. That Kengo is the one who first had the Fourze Driver, but he gives it to Gentaro which drastically changes his life.

Kamen Rider Fourze can insert different “Astro Switches” into the Fourze Driver to affect his legs and arms. The first switch we saw is the Rocket.

Kamen Rider Fouze also celebrates the 50th year anniversary since Yuri Gagarin went to space. Gagarin is the first human being to journey into outer space. They basically want you to see Fourze as Yuri, since he's the first Rider to go out to space.

With the press conference happened a few hours ago, the official site for Kamen Rider Fourze had finally opened. This features the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series' story and character profiles.

Gentaro Kisaragi, a new transfer student at Amanogawa Academy says "I will become friends with everyone" on his first day and creates the "Kamen Rider" club. That's how he came to know Kengo Kasei.

He declares that he will become friends with everyone in the school. He meets Kengo Utahoshi, as if it was destined for them to meet.

The man with red eyes (Shingo Tsurumi): A mysterious man who caused some incident and has the "Zodiarts Switches" He seems to have a connection with the school, but he's a complete mystery.

We would like to share a very impressive trivia regarding next season's hero, Sota Fukushi as Gentaro Kisaragi aka Kamen Rider Fourze. It is said that his parents, especially his father, is a big Kamen Rider fan!

According to Sota Fukushi's entry in Japanese Wikipedia, it seems that he only tried out for the show to make them happy. So when they found out he got the role, they were freaking out and telling their friends that their son is the new hero.

Finally, the first Kamen Rider Fourze video clip was finally seen in a news special for the recently concluded press conference. In the clip, you'll see how Fourze will fight the kaijins, and of course, some space scenes.

Gentaro Kisaragi, a new transfer student at Amanogawa Academy says "I will become friends with everyone" on his first day and creates the "Kamen Rider" club. That's how he came to know Kengo Kasei. That Kengo is the one who first had the Fourze Driver, but he gives it to Gentaro which drastically changes his life.

Yesterday, we finally saw the first video clip for the upcoming 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Fourze. And finally, a new image got leaked featuring the use of Fourze's Astro Switches.

Kamen Rider Fourze can insert different “Astro Switches” into the Fourze Driver to affect his legs and arms, which have robotic voices followed by various melodies. The switches represents the following: Right arm - Rocket (used for flying), Right leg - Launcher (shoot missiles), Left arm - Radar (maybe kaijin detection), and Left leg - Drill (Rider Kick).

As we get nearer to the premier of the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Fourze, more additional characters have been revealed. The latest addition is gravure idol Arisa Fujisaki is playing as Jun Shigeno.

Jun Shigeno will be a friend of Miu Kazashiro and will be a reoccurring character. Her name in Japanese is written “繁野ジュン (Shigeno Jun)”, 繁 can be read as Shigeru. 野 is read as “no” and if you take away all the “n's”, you are left with “Shigeru”, “o” and “Ju”. Put it together and you get Shigeru Jou aka Kamen Rider Stronger.

In addition, other character's names are play on the names of the Showa Kamen Riders: Kengo Utahoshi is an anagram of Takeshi Hongo aka Kamen Rider 1 (歌星賢吾→うたぼしけんご→ほんごうたけし→本郷猛); Hayabusa Daimonji is a play to Hayato Ichimonji aka Kamen Rider 2 (大文字隼→一人文字隼→一文字隼人); Miu Kazashiro is a play to Kazami Shiro aka Kamen Rider V3 (風城美羽→風美城羽→風見四郎); [B]Yuuki Joujima is a play to Jouji Yuuki aka Riderman (城島ユウキ→結城丈二); JK might mean Jin Keisuke aka Kamen Rider X (ＪＫ→神敬介); and, Nozama is just the name, Amazon rearranged.

A YouTube video featuring what it seems to be Kamen Rider Fourze's Astro Switch melodies has recently surfaced the internet. The melodies supposedly came from the soon to be released Fourze Driver.

Since the uploader disabled video embedding, you can check the Astro Switch melodies here. Kamen Rider Fourze can insert different “Astro Switches” into the Fourze Driver to affect his legs and arms, which have robotic voices followed by various melodies. The switches represents the following: Right arm - Rocket (used for flying), Right leg - Launcher (shoot missiles), Left arm - Radar (maybe kaijin detection), and Left leg - Drill (Rider Kick).

It's about time for the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Fourze, to join the Ganbaride arcade video games. With this, the use of OOO's Medals will be replaced by Fourze's Astro Switches.

Video Link Unavailable

Furthermore, the Ganbaride will become a three on three Kamen Rider battle, in contrast to the previous two on two fights. Unfortunately, we didn't see Kamen Rider Fourze join the action. Maybe next time...

Kamen Rider Fourze's opening theme is quite elusive ever since we got the press conference video a few weeks ago. And finally, a sound clip from the first minutes of the said event had been leaked featuring a preview of Fourze's opening theme.

The official toy catalogs for Kamen Rider Fourze is now out! The new catalog basically confirms the rumored toy catalog that surfaced the web a while ago. The toy catalog reveals that Fourze will have two more forms and an AutoVajin-esque robot.

The official tv-asahi website revealed that you will get a special Ganbaride card on an event called, Kamen Rider Fourze Base States which hints us that Fourze might be getting more forms.

The toy catalog reveals that he will have two forms called, States and the first two States are: Electric and Fire States which have their own corresponding weapons called, Modules. The Module for each States are: Billy the Rod for the Electric States and Hi-Hackgun for the Fire States. The finisher for each Module is called “Limit Breaks.” Fourze Base States along with their corresponding Modules is to be released this August, Electric States on October and Fire States on November.

Other toys to be released asides from what is mentioned are the Punch Fighter for August, Power Dicer and Machine Masshigler for November. In the scan, the Power Dicer combines with Fourze's Rider Machine to form a AutoVaijin-like robot that will aid Fourze in battle!

In addition, Fourze is said to have his own robot assistants in the form of the Foodroids which was based on "space food." The Foodroids that were listed are: Bagameal, Potachokin(a combination with the words, potato chips and 'chokin' which means 'bank savings') and Furasheki.

Better shots of the Astro Switches and the modules for Fourze's Base States

The Fourze Module Change Series figure for Base States. This is the Fourze equivalent of the OOO Combo Combo Change figures from last year. Also shows off the yellow Elek States form, and the red Fire States form. Also the switches for each form are;

DX Machine Mashigler and Power Dizer. Mashigler is Fourze's bike, and Power Dizer is an additional vehicle that can combine with the bike.

The Foodroid series figures. So it looks like Fourze will getting its own version of the Candroids from OOO or the Memory Gadgets from Double. Anyway the Foodroids are Burgermeal (top), Potachokin (middle), and Flashake (bottom).

If you went crazy yesterday about Kamen Rider Fourze's upcoming forms and weapons, you will certainly get crazier as we get introduced to Fourze's gadgets, the Foodroids.

Last two Kamen Rider series, we go Memory Gadgets for W, and Candroids for OOO, now we got Foodroids for Fourze. Foodroids resemble a typical fastfood meal. The first three revealed are “Burger Meal”, “Potachokin” and “Furaseki” which transforms from burger, french fries and softdrinks cup to helper robots.

In addition, here are some of the additional soon to be released Kamen Rider Fourze merchandises:

We have a nice big spread featuring the DX Fourze Driver. It will feature a 7 color LED in the main base, with four different switch spots for the four limbs of his body. Pull the lever to transform. To activate the sounds, press down on the switch you are activating to hear “_____ On!” depending on what you picked. Third, press the switch AND pull the lever to activate the final attack, known as the Limit Break. The belt will retail for ¥6,500 and will be released September 3rd.

Next up, in the corner, is your new crack and stress inducing item, the Astro Switch Sets! Shown are four Sets, each with two Switches and a Ganbaride card. Due to the size of the scan, it’s hard to tell what Switches come with which set, but stay tuned for further news. Each set is ¥750, and will be released in September, October, November, and December.

Next up we have a nice spread of what sort of hellish gimmick you’ll be falling into this time! The left shows the four main Astro Switches, and what weapons they provide. The right shows the main Astro Switches again, some Candy Toys, an example of the Module Change Switch, and a little graph that shows the fact that Bandai are greedy little people that want to sell even MORE than OOO did. Yeah, good luck with that.

Next up is the typical action figure line for this series. We’ve had WFC, we’ve had OCC, now we have FMCS…Fourze Module Change Series. The first release will be Fourze Base States, featuring Fourze with the main four Switches. He will be released in September. The second release will be Elec States, his electric form. This one will include four new weapons, including Billy the Rod, which we’ll look at later. He will release in October. The third due up is Fire States, coming with four more modules, including the Hi-Hat Gun. Fire States will release in November. Each FMCS announced retails for ¥2800.

At the bottom is the Fourze Rider Hero Series figures, the first three being Fourze Base States, Fourze Elek States, and Fourze Fire States. Each RHS figure retails for ¥800. Base will release in September, Elek in October, and Fire in November. Also hanging out in September is the Punch Fighter for Fourze. It’s a punching bag that gets released every year. It’s ¥2300.

Lastly, we will get Kamen Rider Fourze's answer to OOO's Medal Holder, the Astro Switch Gaban. Anyway, the case opens up to hold 10 Astro Switches, and includes 1 Astro Switch with the case. And since Fourze is said to have 40 Switches, expect him to carry four of these.

A few weeks ago, we heard a few rumors about Kamen Rider Fourze's debut in the upcoming Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL film. And now, a very reliable source from 2ch posted the scenario of Fourze's debut!

During the final battle against Gara, there's some smoke and something quickly flies through it and crashes in the middle of the battlefield. It's a mysterious white Rider. Kamen Rider Fourze uses a “Rider Rocket Punch” against Gara, almost loses control, but lands the attack anyway. Fourze throws OOO at Gara afterward. Then he receives a call, saying that he's late for club activities and decides to leave.

Apparently, Kamen Rider Fourze says “I want to become friends with All Kamen Riders!” at some point too.

Unbeknownst to us during the press conference last month, a trailer or promo for the upcoming Kamen Rider Fourze TV series had been shown. It features a few more scenes we previously saw during the first video clip.

Gentaro Kisaragi, a new transfer student at Amanogawa Academy says "I will become friends with everyone" on his first day and creates the "Kamen Rider" club. That's how he came to know Kengo Kasei. That Kengo is the one who first had the Fourze Driver, but he gives it to Gentaro which drastically changes his life.

Now that Kamen Rider OOO is now close to its final battle, more scans for the upcoming 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series has surfaced the web! It features the first Zodiarts that Kamen Rider Fourze will fight, his other Switches and of course, how to do his henshin sequence!

scene from the upcoming Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL film: Gentaro first appeared out of suit before transforming into Fourze. Also, to those who are wondering about our top pic, it's Fourze's Rider Kick called, Rocket Drill Kick which he kicked the Orion Zodiarts.

On the left is the scan of Fourze with his bike, Machine Masshigler and it seems he is planning to ram it on the Orion Zodiarts! On the right is the scan of his two Astro Switches, Rocket and Drill Switch.

A scan of Fourze's two other Astro Switches. Switch 5 is called, Magic Hand and Switch 4 is the Radar Arm[/B].

Switch 2, which depicts the Kamen Rider Fourze's Rocket Launcher legs, and to those who are wondering where are the missiles from his rocket launcher, it is found on the scan above it. I so love the missile design!

Fourze vs. Scorpio Zodiart

Lastly, here's how you do Kamen Rider Fourze's henshin pose, which according to some, is so much Gurren Lagann inspired.

With the release of next month's issues of Hyper Hobby and TOEI Hero Max magazines, more Kamen Rider Fourze information was revealed. This basically confirms the existence of “Kamen Rider urban legend” that was rumored before.

Kamen Rider Fourze’s base form is called “Base States”, which is accessed when Gentaro uses the space energy inside the Astro Switches. It’s stats are as followed:

Kamen Rider Fourze’s exclusive bike is the Machine Masshigler. Although, that’s just what Gentaro named it. It’s official name is “ORB-40F” It uses hydrogen as fuel and doesn’t release any CO2. The Astro Switches are the sources of Fourze’s powers. These switches hold an unknown energy called “Cosmic Energy”.

* Fourze’s Module 1, the Rocket Module: A rocket is equipped on his right arm. By enabling the Exhaust Thruster, Fourze can add up another 4 t to his punches. * Fourze’s Module 2, the Launcher Module: He can shoot 5 missiles from his right leg. * Fourze’s Module 3, the Drill Module: It’s equipped on his left leg. It’s spins around 200 rpm. * Fourze’s Module 4, the Radar Module: By using this module, Fourze can give his Launcher Module homing missiles. He’s also able to reflect certain waves. * Fourze’s Module 5, the Magic Hand Module: The Magic Hand is equipped on his right hand, which gives him an extra 10 m reach. The end of the Magic Hand is called the “End Effect Pliers” which can lift up any object up to 6 t.

The Zodiarts use switches that are very different from Fourze’s. These are called “Zodiart Switches”. A human can use this to turn into a Zodiart. The Scorpion Zodiart is actually one of the stronger monsters, who suddenly shows up in Amanogawa High School.

In episode 1 and 2, someone will use the Orion Switch to turn into the Orion Zodiart. He uses a giant club called Lemnos and a shield called Chios, named after two Greek islands.

Kengo Utahoshi received the Fourze Driver along with 40 Astro Switches from his dying father. He wishes to fight against the Zodiarts with the Fourze Driver, but due to his weak body he’s unable to fight. Kengo eventually gives Gentaro Kisaragi the belt when they meet. The heroine Yuki Joujima is actually Gentaro’s childhood friend who’s Kengo’s classmate. She calls herself a “space nerd” and Japan’s happiest schoolgirl.

Here's a clip of Kamen Rider Fourze's movie debut as seen in the Kamen Rider OOO Summer Movie TV Special! In this clip, OOO is in a pinch while fighting the alchemist Gara and out of nowhere, the new Rider, Fourze appears!

As the premier of the 13th Heisei Kamen Rider series comes to a close, we recently got information regarding the rumors on Kamen Rider Fourze's first few episodes. This features Gentaro's acquisition of the Fourze Driver and his travels in space.

Please take rumors with a grain of salt!

Episode 1: Youth Switch On!One day, an unthinkable bad boy transfers to Amanogawa High School. He aims to befriend every single student attending to the school. But the school is filled with weird people and this task is harder than it seems. He's suddenly called out by his classmate, Kengo Utahoshi.

Episode 2: I'm Kamen Rider!After Gentaro saved Kengo, he entrusts the Astro Switches to Gentaro. A girl by the name of Yuuki Joujima catches a glimpse of Gentaro fighting as Fourze. Later, Gentaro is taken to outer space.

Episode 3: Let's Fly, Launcher!Gentaro creates the Kamen Rider club. However, Kamen Rider Fourze itself is supposed to be a secret. Thus he's not even allowed to say that Fourze is a Kamen Rider. Gentaro who's not happy about that decides to hold an assembly in front of the whole school to spread the word of his club. A mysterious man holding a switch was seen standing in the corner of the gym.
